Muhammad Ali: The Greatest of All Time

“I strongly object, Ali said, ‘to the fact that so many newspapers have given the American public and the world the impression that I have only two alternatives in taking this stand–either I go to jail or go to the army. There is another alternative, and that alternative is justice.”

“I represent truth. The world is full of oppressed people, poverty people. They for me. They not for the system. All the black militants…all your hippies, all your draft resisters, they all want me to be the victor.”

Charles P Pierce: “Ali was a better American citizen than were the people who denigrated him for his brashness, who spat on his religion, who called him a coward because he wouldn’t be an accessory to mindless slaughter.”
